Effectiveness of action taken before effective date
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) If action, other than the filing of a financing statement, is taken before this act takes effect and
the action would have resulted in priority of a security interest over the rights of a person that
becomes a lien creditor had the security interest become enforceable before this act takes
effect, the action is effective to perfect a security interest that attaches under this act within
one year after this act takes effect. An attached security interest becomes unperfected one
year after this act takes effect unless the security interest becomes a perfected security interest
under this act before the expiration of that period.
(2) The filing of a financing statement before this act takes effect is effective to perfect a security
interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under
this act.
(3) This act does not render ineffective an effective financing statement that, before this act takes
effect, is filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the
jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in former Section 70A-9-103. However, except as
otherwise provided in Subsections (4) and (5) and Section 70A-9a-706, the financing statement
ceases to be effective at the earlier of:
(a) the time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective under the law of the
jurisdiction in which it is filed; or
(b) June 30, 2006.
(4) The filing of a continuation statement after this act takes effect does not continue the
effectiveness of the financing statement filed before this act takes effect. However, upon the
timely filing of a continuation statement after this act takes effect and in accordance with the

law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in Part 3, Perfection and Priority, the
effectiveness of a financing statement filed in the same office in that jurisdiction before this act
takes effect continues for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.
(5) Subsection (3)(b) applies to a financing statement that, before this act takes effect, is filed
against a transmitting utility and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the
law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in former Section 70A-9-103 only to the
extent that Part 3, Perfection and Priority, provides that the law of a jurisdiction other than the
jurisdiction in which the financing statement is filed governs perfection of a security interest in
collateral covered by the financing statement.
(6) A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before this act takes effect and
a continuation statement filed after this act takes effect is effective only to the extent that it
satisfies the requirements of Part 5, Filing, for an initial financing statement.
